July 4th.
The four participating businesses had already started setting up in front of their doors, and banners were already up.
Trucks began arriving and delivering goods.
The once quiet street was now bustling with people who stopped to watch.
On July 5th, we started distributing flyers.
That day, in the nearby streets and alleys, whether in the middle of the road or next to public toilets, hourly workers wearing yellow hats were handing out flyers to passersby.
Dong Yike and Ji Mushu were naturally dragged over by Yu Mobai to do the hard work.
With girls as beautiful as them, who could bear to reject them outright?
So, the two of them were assigned to stand at the supermarket entrance, holding a thick stack of flyers.
However, the two have different personalities, and their methods of distributing flyers are also different.
Dong Yike has a very outgoing personality. She calls men "brother" and women "sister," and she even proactively introduces the upcoming event. She's also incredibly fast at handing out flyers.
Ji Mushu wasn't as enthusiastic as Dong Yike, but she still wanted to help, only she was a little slow.
"Little sister, this won't do."
During a break, Dong Yike leaned close to her and said, "You need to be more proactive, just like you are with Yu Mobai."
"None of your business?"
Ji Mushu glared at him, turned around and left. She had no intention of breathing the same air as Dong Yike.
...
Soon, the news about Mo Bai Supermarket spread throughout the surrounding streets and alleys.
Especially after dinner, it has become a topic of conversation for men, women, and children to chat about while sitting at their doorsteps.
"Have you heard? The kid from that big supermarket over there got into Shengjing University but he won't go. He wants to go to some second-tier university instead. Isn't that a sin?"
"What? Really?"
"Seriously, anyone with a kid like that would be furious."
"However, it is said that the couple, in a fit of anger, decided to do good for society and planned to donate quite a few refrigerators."
"Yes, yes, yes, and they also have rice, flour, and cooking oil!"
"Uncle Wang, isn't your grandson going to be a senior in high school next year? I heard there's a restaurant there that serves really nutritious meals!"
"You're saying that students cheat on their exams? That's just awful! How heartbroken must the kids who can't get into college be!"
"My child studies for exams every day, and his eyesight has gotten much worse."
"Hey, there's a big appliance store across from that supermarket, and I heard their desk lamps are really good!"
As the flyers were distributed, more and more people started discussing it.
Many people still don't believe it. Who would give you a refrigerator for free?
Isn't that a complete traitor?
Those office workers don't have time, but the elderly who like to wander around have plenty of time.
So someone went to their door to ask.
"Do you really deliver refrigerators?"
"Of course I'll send it."
Yu Jinsheng pointed to the refrigerator outside, "Aren't they all there? How could they be fake?"
The older woman was worried that the cardboard boxes were just for show, so she went outside and shook them. Only after she felt that they couldn't be shaken did she believe that there was indeed a refrigerator inside.
The second question was about the unfilial son. The older woman pointed at Yu Mobai sitting next to her and asked, "Is this your unfilial son? Have you severed ties with him?"
Yu Mobai: "..."
Regardless, the news did get out through this middle-aged woman; there really was a refrigerator to take!
However, there are limited spots available, so it's first come, first served!
As soon as the news came out, even before the event started, more people flocked to Mobai Supermarket.
They not only went to gather information, but also boosted purchasing power in the supermarket.
Of course, some people also came to inquire about the other businesses.
This once quiet street has gradually become lively.
As the supermarket filled up with people, Zheng Zhaoxia finally smiled again.
Especially after dinner, the bustling scene was something that even the opening day didn't achieve.
Although most of them came to ask if the promotion was real, since I was already here, and the supermarket seemed pretty big, I decided to just browse around.
In the pre-internet era, time after meals was never easy to pass.
The couple stood at the checkout counter, busy working. It had been so long since they had experienced this feeling of being tired yet happy.
However, behind the smiles, there are also some concerns.
The number of visitors has increased exponentially in the past few days, but this has also brought Zheng Zhaoxia concerns about the event.
Leaving aside the price of those dozens of refrigerators, even the cost of the rice, flour, and cooking oil that their supermarket gives away as gifts is shockingly high!
It may seem like we didn't spend a single penny, but these are all real costs!
If very few people participate on the day of the event, it will be difficult to resolve the situation after all the effort these companies have put in.
As the event drew closer, more and more people arrived at the door. Eventually, a large crowd gathered around Yu Mobai, eager to see what kind of person this rebellious son was who had angered his parents so much.
Yu Mobai wouldn't let this opportunity pass by. He moved out some small stools and brought out some melon seeds.
These sunflower seeds are very cheap, and these elderly folks can eat as many as they want.
But no water is provided, and eating sunflower seeds makes you thirsty very easily.
Moreover, there were some wealthy old men in the crowd who insisted on showing off in front of the older women, waving their hands and carrying out cases of Red Bull, drinking as much as they wanted.
Seeing this scene, Yu Mobai asked with a smile, "Mom, have you found the cashier I asked you to look for a few days ago?"
"It's been found, and we'll be here that day."
Seeing his own mother's casual expression, he knew something was wrong.
Who are you looking for?
"Your eldest aunt, second aunt, eldest aunt..."
Zheng Zhaoxia thought that these relatives would only need to treat her to one meal at most, so how much could it cost?
If we hire five or six cashiers as Yu Mobai suggested, we could make a lot of money.
She had a very good idea of where she would make money and where she would lose money.
However, Yu Mobai disagreed, insisting that she find some decent people to handle the cashier work and that they be familiar with the cashier system, otherwise it might cause delays.
At his repeated requests, Zheng Zhaoxia had no choice but to find a few day-wage temporary workers and begin teaching them how to use the cash register.
Seeing that the temporary workers were not paying attention, Yu Mobai clapped his hands and said, "Ladies, on the day of the event, as long as you perform well, you can be promoted to a permanent worker and there will be a bonus."
A simple sentence is more effective than any number of sentences Zheng Zhaoxia could say.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhaoxia sighed, "They've really grown up; they even know how to use this trick to win people over."
"So, let's not think too much about it. The score estimation will be in a few days. Can you help me check? I can help you with that at the supermarket."
